What Mountains are Worth,

Some slight idea of the growth and
extent of the business done by those who
are catering in northern New Hampshire
for the summer tourists is to be derived
from recent statements furnished to q
contemporary by Mr.. John Lindsey who
was formerly one of the proprietors of
the Fabyan house. He was employed
by the legislature Of the state in 1869 to
collect statistics bearing upon the neces-
sity Of granting railroad charter as far
as Fabyan's, and in this capacity had ac-
cess to the books of all the hotel and liv-
cry men who attended to the White
mountain business. The area then in
cluded was a radius of thirty miles
around the Crawford house, He found
that in 1914 the entire business within
this district amounted to $15, 1000.
twenty-five years later it footed up to
S1,200,000. 1t has not increased since
1869 in the same proportion, but it is
estimated that the tourists will leave be-
hind them this year over So, 900, 900 to be
distributed chiefly among the inhabitaats
of New Hampshire. This is the harvest
of the hotels and the livery stables. The
gains of the railroads are not included.
This is a pretty good sailing for the in
habitants of the state, and shows that
there is more money in the granite hills
than those ever dreamed of who first be-
gan the entertainment of summer visit
ors among the mountains. The White
hills are the best investment in the granite
state.-Boston Herald.

Between French Guiana and Brazil is Q
region of 1000 square miles, contain
ing 10000 inhabitants, whose possession
has been contested for 200 wears. France
claims it on one hand, Brazil on the
other, and all because of an incompre-
hensible clause in the treaty of Utrecht.
Neither France nor Brazil has ever
dreamed of taking possession of this ter
ritory, either by force or by arbitration
of friendly nation. The principal
center of population in this country is
Counani, which has about $50 inhabitants
and will soon be the capital of new re-
public. A short time ago the Counani-
ans proclaimed the independence of their
country and chose for president III.
Jules Gros, venerable Frenchman, who
has explored the banks of the Amazon.
NJ. Gros lives at Vauves, not far from
Paris, and there he received the news OF
his appointment.
Unfortunately, he is not, in Counani,
for his new subjects have forgotten to
make out q ''civil list, and the voyage
is expensive. However, he is serious,
and the legation of the new republic
has already been installed, No. IS Rue du
Louvre, Paris. M. Gros does not make
us very enthusiastic over his position,
from the fact that his first official act
was to create decoration, called the
''Star of Counani," and to appoint the
high dignitaries in his republic, especi
| ally the intendant general of the presi
dents palace at Counani- Counani has
not more than thirty houses-a proof

Journal by his writings is in his dotage

The increased railroad facilities and the
marvellous stories of country and climate,
have brought thousands to the Pacific
coast, and they tell us that 1000 excur-
sionists viii make their appearance here
within the next four months. New hotels
are building along the southern coast and
extensive preparations making for their
entertainment. Tie infusion of such a
quantity of new blood as this must of
necessity change the whole character of
the country. There is little this state
needs besides its natural advantages but
New England thrift and energy. If the
same money and labor were spent upon
the ranches in California that are spent
upon the stony hillside farms of New
York or New England the owners would
be repaid a thousand fold. Thrift,
thrift, Horatio," is what they need.
Haste and energy seem to have gone out
of this wotld-if ever they were here
and nothing is left but the dolce far niente
of the old Spanish settlers. The people
own too much land and cultivate too
little. They say the climate is such they
cannot work like eastern people. Be that
as it may, the trail of the old lazy Span
lard is over them all, and they have little
desire to get away from it.-San Fran
cisco Cor. Cleveland Leader.

The State Register of Springfield, Ills,
relates the following curious experience
of DIR. Lameroux, of Eldon, la. The
doctor is physician about 40 years old,
who In his youth was of an adventurous
turn. AT one time he found himself
teaching school down in the Cherokee
country, in schoolhouse which his own
hands had helped to build.
On one occasion, having offended a
number of young Cherokee bucks by
promising them ''good square lick
ing" for some infringement of his rules,
he discovered that his pupils had come to
school armed to the teeth, intending, as
he expresses it, to ''do him up" if he
attempted to carry out his threat.
He Immediately dispatched secret
messenger to inform the parents of the
young men of the state of affairs, and
ask their attendance at the school.
They soon came, and the schoolnnaster
addressed them in a few explanatory
words. He said that the young men had
disobeyed the rules, and must take their
punishment or leave the school. The old
bucks, after consulting together, agreed
to stand by the teacher, whereupon the
refractory pupils were one by one dis.
armed and punished.
The pistols, knives and other weapons
made quite pile in the center oe the
| room. Some time after this the school
gave an exhibition, which is said to have
been the first school exhibition ever held
in Indian territory, at which about 500
Indians were present. Many of them
came days beforehand, and camped on
the spot to await the great event.

a STRANGE AFFECTION.
The Story Told by Trsveler-Ehects Of
InaCination

Imagination.
The modern town of laramie, in Italy,
occupies the site of the famous Tarentum
of old. The tarantismo, an insect ven
om0uS in hot weather, is to be found
there, and various startling accounts are
given of the peculiar effects of its bites.
A Tarentine gentleman, who has seen
many cases of persons affected by the
tarantismo thus describes it in the ''Ital-
ian Sketches of Janet Ross:
''There are various species of the insect,
and two kinds Of tarantismo, the wet and
the dry. A violent fever attacks the per-
son bitten, who sits moaning and sway
ing backward and forward. Musicians
are called and begin playing; if the air
does not strike the fancy of the tarantola,
as the patient is called, she means more
loudly and says: No, no, not that!
1.-The fiddler instantly changes, and the
tambOurine beats fast and furious, to in
dicate the difference of the time. When
at last the tarantola gets an ar to her
liking she springs up and begins to dance
frantically.
''If she has the dry tarantisn1o her
friends try to find out the color of the
Lido UlIItIi utl, ttHu dUOl IL
her dress and her fingers with ribbons
that recall the tints of the insect. If no
one can indicate the color she is decked
with streamers of every hue, which flut-
ter wildly about as she dances and tosses
her arms in the air. The ceremony gen.
orally begins in the house, but what with
the heat and the concourse Of people it
often ends in the street.
''If it is a wet tarantismo the musi-
Clans choose a spot near a well, and the
dancer is incessantly deluged with water
by relays of friends, who go backward
and forward to the we'll with their brown
earthenware jars.
''When the tarantola is quite worn out
she is undressed and put to bed.
The fever lasts seventy-two hours,
and the state Of nervous excitement must
| be intense to sustain a woman under such
| fatigue as dancing for three whole days.
IF the musicians are not called in, and
| the person bitten is not induced to dance,
| the fever continues indefinitely, and is in
some cases followed by death"
1t is hardly necessary to say that in
this method of treatment the imagination
plays q great part; nevertheless it is a
! real cure.-Yotth' 5 Companion.
